S.L.I.C Mission:

"Student Leaders Initiating Change" is a youth coalition developing our leadership skills to encourage our peers to make decisions that have a positive impact on themselves and the community.

Welcome

SLIC (Student Leaders Initiating Change) is in Ottawa County in West Michigan. Among other things, we build our leadership skills, learn to work within a coalition of students from all the local high schools (meaning- meet new people!), participate in local service projects, attend youth leadership summits, use social networking and other media to provide positive messages to our peers. SLIC is now meeting in several high schools in Ottawa County- see if we are in your school or check about getting SLIC started!

 We don't just talk about making a difference; we actually DO it! Come check us out!

Safe Prom is an initiative of SLIC, Ottawa Substance AbusePrevention Coalition (OSAP) and Pathways,MI. With support from many other local organizations we want to support a fun, positive and substance free prom! Posters encouraging students to "Live Above" are displayed in all the Ottawa County high schools and many local establishments. A gum pack with the message to "Stay Classy. Live Above." was distributed with the purchase of prom tickets. Please "Enjoy the Memory. Live Above." for YOUR prom!
